Mediation

Mediation is a method regulated by Law No. 6325 that enables parties to resolve their disputes through negotiation, facilitated by a specialist third person (the mediator), outside the courtroom and within a short time frame. As a Mediator registered with the Ministry of Justice Mediators' Registry, we both conduct mandatory pre-action mediation proceedings and represent our clients at the mediation table in the capacity of party counsel.

Scope of Our Services

• Conducting mandatory pre-action mediation proceedings in commercial disputes
• Mediation in employment disputes (receivables, compensation, reinstatement)
• Mediation in tenancy, dissolution of partnership, condominium and neighbour-right disputes
• Mediation in consumer disputes
• Designing and conducting voluntary mediation proceedings
• Party representation and negotiation strategy in mediation sessions
• Preparation of settlement agreements and applications for enforcement endorsement

Advantages of the Process

• Speed: Results within weeks, compared with litigation that can last years.
• Economy: Far lower costs compared with the risk of court fees and attorney fees.
• Confidentiality: Sessions are confidential; statements and documents cannot be used as evidence in any subsequent action.
• Preservation of relationships: Commercial and personal relationships suffer far less strain than in adversarial litigation.
• Enforceability: A properly executed settlement agreement is directly enforceable as a document with the force of a court judgment.

The Scope of Mandatory Mediation Is Expanding

In addition to commercial and employment disputes, disputes arising from tenancy relationships, dissolution of partnership and disputes arising from condominium ownership are also within the scope of mandatory pre-action mediation.
